HR20 New Software ver. 0xEB (Several Fixes, no OTA)

[jcrandall]

Earl over at DBStalk once again has the scoop.

Several fixes. Hopefully the key one for me is the searching for satellite signal will be eliminted - a huge problem on MPEG4.

It says that this is a staggered release - may be a little while to get it without a forced update.

Here is the release notes from over at dbstalk:

Program deleting from the MyVod before user action or delete criteria reached (space, SL settings, etc).
Prioritizer will remain in-sync with the todo list
Upon initial playback, content doesn't play and displays "DELETE" On-Screen Dialog
Additional Miscellaneous fixes (no specifics provided)
Improved accuracy of hard drive usage indicator

'Searching for satellite' message no longer appears while viewing a recorded program.
Improvements to Manual Recording Scheduling and reliability
Additional stability fixes
Improvements to HDMI compatibility.

All A/V Outputs are disabled when the unit is put in standby mode
Unofficial Support: eSATA will properly reflect full size of connected drive (or RAID)

I can finally watch recordings while it is raining! Apparently, R&D always had a perfect sat signal when testing the HR20!

I am not sure about that, but this is the only code to force an update I've ever heard of.

It hasn't rolled out to the Central Time Zone yet.

Also, the HR20 will auto-update as soon as it is authorized. (it tried every hour after it gets the Okay to update)

and that will come when.... ?

 

[jcrandall]

Probally a few days, they will start on the west and work across. It lets them space out tech support calls if there were to be problems.

As of just a little while ago, the decision hasn't been made if they are going to increase the rollout size yet... or continue to monitor the feedback from the Pacific timezone.

I activated another new HR20 receiver last night that had never been in the stream. When I did a force download BEFORE activating it still wouldn't get the new version. I guess they are very specific when they do a limited rollout.
